Buffalo falls to Tennessee late in 80-67 defeat in first round of NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament

The Buffalo Bulls, in de facto road territory in the Wichita Regional of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, were eliminated in the first round by the Tennessee Lady Volunteers in a 80-67 loss in Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday night.

It was a valiant effort for the Bulls, who found themselves leading at the end of the first quarter as the 13-seed, with a 17-15 margin after the first 10 minutes. They continued to add on to the margin, getting up to 20-15 on a Georgia Wooley three-pointer with just over eight minutes to go in the second quarter.
